where police say officers have shot and killed an armed suspect. and new information on a deadly ambush on fire crews who were responding to a brush fire in idaho. [music] >> this is ktvu, fox two news at noon. >> and good afternoon. welcome to the noon. i'm jana katsuyama. we want to begin with that breaking news in antioch. police are saying that officers fatally shot an armed suspect. ktvu henry lee is there in antioch, and he's joining us live now with some of the latest details. henry, what can you tell us? >> yeah, janet, we are on osprey drive. that's south of james donlon boulevard at the scene of the officer involved shooting. now, we're not being told much right now, but let's show you some video from earlier. now, skyfox was over. over the scene in the aftermath of the shooting by police that left a male dead.
12:01 pm
that happened about 740 this morning on osprey drive, and officers converged on this residential neighborhood. now they encountered a male reportedly armed with a knife, and at least one officer opened fire. video at the scene shows a man lying on the street beneath a yellow tarp, and nearby, a woman and others were overcome with emotion. and again, antioch police have not yet released details about what led up to the shooting, but confirmed there was a deadly confrontation. >> we responded to a call and then there was there was an officer involved shooting. we do have one fatality. >> now, depending on the circumstances leading up to the shooting, either the contra costa county da's office will investigate if this male was indeed armed with some kind of weapon. if he was not, then the state attorney general, rob bonta office will step in. now, coming up at five and six, we'll hear from neighbors who are very concerned, especially because of recent incidents in this neighborhood unrelated to this
12:02 pm
confrontation. live in antioch. henry lee, ktvu, fox two news. >> all right, henry, thank you so much for the details on that developing news. we'll look forward to seeing you a little bit later on this afternoon. now we turn to idaho and the deadly sniper attack on firefighters this morning. investigators said that the suspected shooter is 20 year old wes rowley. officials say it appears the suspect intentionally set a brush fire and then ambushed the firefighters, who responded, killing two of them. fox's jonathan hunt has more now from coeur d'alene, idaho. >> a solemn procession for two fallen firefighters killed in a shocking ambush attack on sunday. it started early afternoon local time. crews were responding to an active fire at canfield mountain, just north of coeur d'alene, about a half hour later, gunshots were reported and on sunday night, a tactical team found the body of the suspected gunman in a wooded area. >> we do believe that he started
12:03 pm
it and it was totally intentional. what he did. this was a total ambush. these firefighters did not have a chance. >> police say the shooter was acting alone and a shelter in place order has now been lifted, but there's still no word on what was his motive or why he started the fire before attacking the firefighters. >> right now, cops are applying for search warrants, search warrants for cell phone records, computer records, search warrants for his residence vehicles, everything. search warrants to search his body. >> experts are applauding the decision to move the suspect's body as the flames closed in, preserving evidence that could be crucial in determining his motive, and investigators will likely find more clues as the fire dies down and they get more access to the area. >> it sounds like they got to get in there. they got to see what weapons he has, and they have to see if the weapons that are found there match to the weapons that fired. >> a third firefighter who was shot and badly wounded, is now said to be in stable condition
12:04 pm
after surgery in coeur d'alene. jonathan hunt, fox news. >> the trump administration today threatened to pull all federal funding from harvard university for allegedly failing to protect jewish students from harassment. a federal task force sent a letter to harvard today stating the university did not protect the jewish students during campus wide protests, the letter says all of harvard's federal funding will be revoked if harvard does not comply with certain measures. harvard has not yet commented on these latest charges. the u.s. supreme court is taking up a new challenge to campaign finance restrictions. the court says it will consider a republican request to strike down restrictions on how much national party committees can spend, in coordination with individual campaigns. the high court is ignoring requests from democrats to leave the law in place, the justices say in the fall, they will review an appellate court ruling that upheld a federal election law provision which the supreme court upheld in 2001. but the
12:05 pm
court's conservative majority has since upended limits on political donor contributions to federal elections. on capitol hill, a marathon session is underway right now in the u.s. senate, republicans are moving forward with president trump's massive spending plan, but there are still several obstacles that remain. caroline shively reports on this marathon voting session that is happening now in washington, d.c. >> the clerk will call the roll. >> the vote a rama on the big beautiful bill kicked off in the senate monday morning. it's a series of votes on amendments to the president's sprawling tax and immigration bill, and it could take all day. >> so, mr. president, it's time to vote. >> the senate bill would extend trump's 2017 tax cuts, slash medicaid and reverse initiatives to fight climate change and increase money for the pentagon and immigration enforcement. the congressional budget office says it would add more than $3 trillion to the u.s. deficit over the next decade. >> this is not just a number. it affects your everyday life.
12:06 pm
higher interest rates. think about your credit cards, your car loans. >> republican senator thom tillis of north carolina announced he won't run for reelection after breaking ranks to oppose the bill, warning it could devastate rural hospitals and kick hundreds of thousands of people in his state off medicaid. >> it is inescapable that this bill, in its current form, will betray the very promise that donald j. trump made. >> other republicans pushed back on that idea. >> let's reform medicaid and save it for those people who need it. but let's let's make sure that people who are able bodied go to work every day and don't don't get things for free. >> president trump wants congress to pass a bill by the 4th of july, but he seemed to soften that deadline over the weekend. >> as long as we have it, it's very important. >> if the senate passes the bill, it heads back to the house for a vote. but it's unclear if house leadership has the numbers to muscle it through. in washington. caroline shively, ktvu, fox two news. >> and to take a deeper dive
12:07 pm
into that senate budget debate and other issues, we're joined now by sonoma state political science professor david mcewen. thanks, as always, for joining us. we appreciate that. we saw over the weekend the senate working through the weekend, through the night, really trying to meet this president's deadline for 4th of july. how close do you think they are to meeting that? >> okay. so they're really close but can only afford to lose a few votes. you're going to have a number of procedural votes. democrats are going to offer a series of amendments. the vote today could run into the evening. it could run late tonight. it could run even into early in the morning. you mentioned caroline's piece there about obviously, thom tillis and what happened there. rand paul, senator from kentucky. that means that john thune, the republican senate leader, can only afford to lose one vote. so if he loses lisa murkowski, if he loses susan collins, ron johnson, if he loses one of those republicans, they're in trouble. it looks like, though they have the votes to move this forward. there's a house rules committee hearing scheduled for
12:08 pm
tomorrow. that meeting would set the rules for the debate, for what would happen for the house to reconcile the senate version. so they're on track. it's a tight margin, and they can't afford to lose any votes in the senate or the house. and so the folks that are on the bubble, the four or 5 or 6 people that are on the bubble, they become hugely important in terms of the negotiations. >> and when we're talking about these negotiations, david, we saw president trump wanting to preserve the tax cuts from 2017. that's a big issue. democrats are arguing it could add to the national deficit, which seems like kind of a flippant position. usually democrats, it's the republicans who are talking about the deficit. so what are the rallying points, do you think, for republicans and what are the those sticking points that that core you just mentioned in the center are really interested in seeing some movement on? >> okay, so one of the really interesting areas of kind of common, if you will, friction is about rural hospitals and what that looks like. if you're going to make medicaid cuts that are $500 billion, $400 billion
12:09 pm
somewhere in that range, and then you're going to have to provide a stabilization fund for rural healthcare. the debate is whether that stabilization fund is 25 billion or 50 billion. what you're talking about something that's, you know, 5 or 10% to maintain rural hospitals when you're going to see literally about 10 to 12 million people who are going to be thrown out of coverage. so what does that look like? and that gives pause to many in states. jim banks on there from indiana, indiana, one out of three folks with health care are covered by medicaid. so that's a big deal in red states and in blue states. so medicaid funding is important. where it's also interesting is what's happening on rolling back the inflation reduction act. that's the biden and democratic led initiative on solar and renewables. and the republicans seem to have the votes there. but that then could help bring somebody along, like lisa murkowski in alaska. so there's a lot of inflection points here. and if you have anyone who's sick or ill or taking care of a relative who's ill in the house and mike johnson's republican caucus,
12:10 pm
they need to be there for the vote later this week. the house is scheduled to come back as late as on the 4th of july, beginning at 9 a.m, to get that big, beautiful bill on the president's desk. let's see if they can pull that off. it's going to be a tight, tight time frame. >> yes, we're in tight margins. tight time frame. one of the things that you mentioned with senator thom tillis, we saw with north carolina, he said he's not seeking reelection. you know, after this big pushback against president trump. and also this morning, republican congressman don bacon of nebraska says he won't seek election. so what does that say about the republican party right now? and do you see that impacting the midterm elections? potentially. >> yeah, it could potentially impact the midterms. the midterms are basically that calendar starts six months from today. that's when we're in the january time period. things kick off. you also had a notable democrat who announced retirement today, but then colin allred, who ran against ted cruz last cycle, is going to announce tomorrow. he's going to run against john cornyn in texas. so democrats are gearing up. the
12:11 pm
thing to pay attention to that. keys into your question is strategic retirements. are there strategic retirements because people think they could be victim or part product of a primary challenge? and that's where donald trump absolutely has kryptonite against certain republicans. and that's something to watch in light of this week's votes. >> and real quickly, because we just have about a minute left, david, but i want to ask you about the supreme court taking up campaign finance. this is a case out of ohio. how much could that impact elections going forward? if we see some shifting on those limits that have been in place? >> yeah. and they've been in place since the 1970s. you need to tie them to inflation. there's a number of things you can do. and there is this notion that the court has with the conservative majority of what's known as transparency. they believe if just voters know how money is spent and what's going on, they can make informed decisions. the problem is disclosure doesn't usually keep up with transparency. so it's a kind of a libertarian argument that they're making. and in that sense, it could be hugely consequential. just before the 26th cycle, democrats will use
12:12 pm
it to raise money. republicans will also use it because their party tends to be more advantage in the current frame, where things are headed around donald trump. the issue will be, though, whether party leaders can channel money that they raise to down ballot candidates. that happened under kevin mccarthy hasn't happened under mike johnson. it would be very interesting to watch that for 2026. >> absolutely. well, thank you so much, david mcewen with sonoma state university. we always appreciate your help and your context and expertise as we look at these really complicated things moving forward. >> thank you. nice to see you. >> thank you. well, president trump spending bill is expected to be among the topics discussed at a town hall meeting later today hosted by east bay congressman mark desaulnier. the contra costa county congressman will also touch on the situation in the middle east and recent supreme court decisions. representative desaulnier has been critical of president trump's unilateral decision to launch attacks on iran, and also the way the administration informed congress that town hall in antioch is set for tonight.
12:13 pm
that's at 6:30 p.m. and for more information, you can go to the congressman's website. bay area public transit just got a funding boost coming up. we'll tell you where you might see the biggest impacts. and an update on a wildfire burning out of control right now in southern california that has already prom

breaking news now out of san mateo county, where embattled sheriff christina corpus has been indicted by a civil grand jury. now, the allegations against the sheriff include one count of conflict of interest that stems from her hiring someone as an executive director of administration, with whom she had had a close personal relationship. we will be following this developing story through the afternoon, and we'll have the latest details coming up on the 4:00 news. after days on the picket line, workers at children's hospital oakland today returned to work. the union says it decided to return to work after a federal judge denied the request for an injunction that would have to stop ucsf from moving forward with a plan to merge children's hospital workers into other ucsf departments. the union is now trying to get a judge to order arbitration in that labor dispute. california's new budget
12:17 pm
includes more than $1 billion in funding and a $750 million loan for bay area transit. ktvu amanda quintana explains where that money will go. >> if we do nothing, transit will fail in 2027, maybe even sooner than that in 2026. >> this group of leaders from cities all along the peninsula are making a plea save public transit. >> whether you're a student in daly city, a biotech worker commuting to oyster point in south san francisco, or a senior visiting family in the east bay, you deserve a system that works. >> with ridership down and covid emergency funds running out. bay area transit agencies like bart, ac transit, caltrain, and muni are struggling. many of them are dealing with millions of dollars in deficits. there are two pieces of state funding in the budget to help $1.1 billion in allocated funds, and a $750 million loan. while details on
12:18 pm
interest and when it needs to be paid back to the state haven't been finalized yet, the idea is that this loan will be the temporary relief that transit agencies need to survive until voters weigh a tax measure next year. >> that if we do nothing, there will be massive, massive service cuts. bart will basically collapse. muni will cut service by as much as 50%. so elimination of half of all muni service, ac transit, caltrain. these systems will really start unraveling. >> senator scott wiener is one of the authors of a bill trying to create a regional ballot measure where voters will be asked to provide long term funding to bay area transit. >> even people who don't take transit get it. they understand that the bay area doesn't work without transit, and they understand that their car commute is going to be much worse if public transportation unravels. >> getting the measure on the ballot is just step one. then
12:19 pm
voters need to be convinced to pass it, knowing that it's not just stabilizing these transit systems, but making them better. in san mateo, amanda quintana, ktvu, fox two news. >> bart says efforts to clean up trains and boost safety are starting to pay off. the transit agency's latest report reveals a 6% jump in riders this past quarter, with even bigger increases on weekends. bart says overall customer satisfaction is up to 84%, robberies and thefts are down, and police complaints have dropped by more than half. despite that good news, ridership is still only about half of what it was before the pandemic, and that's raising questions about bart's financial future. since much of bart's funding is connected to fares. a conference is underway in san francisco now to discuss and showcase improvements in public transportation. mayor daniel lurie is among the local leaders attending the american public transportation association, or apta rail conference. it has seminars and exhibits for all types of rail, including high
12:20 pm
speed urban and commuter commuter rail systems. mayor lurie says that finding ways to finance local transit is important to make sure it's thriving and reliable. he says all options are on the table, including state and local tax measures. >> there's no economic recovery without reliable transit. we have to make sure that we keep muni thriving. it's already coming back and we need to make sure it ensures it stays fully funded. >> the apta rail conference runs through wednesday in san francisco. the next conference is set for mid july in kansas city. a red flag warning is in effect for parts of northern california. the area includes cities including lakeport, ukiah, and as far north as crescent city, where winds may reach 50 miles an hour, according to the national weather service. there may also be dry thunderstorms. a separate red flag warning will affect the northern sierra foothills and a fast moving brush fire in southern california now has
12:21 pm
spread over 1400 acres near homes and prompting prompting evacuations. the wolf fire in riverside county is started just after 3:00 yesterday afternoon. roughly 750 people have been ordered or warned to evacuate. it's one of three fires to start over the weekend in riverside county. the fires caused right now is under investigation. well, now it's time to check back in with ktvu meteorologist rosemary oroczo and rosemary. boy, we've seen some some really big fluctuations in temperature. >> yes, temperatures are going to cool a little bit for the holiday between now and then. we've got just subtle changes coming our way, although i will add a little bit of subtropical moisture over the bay area, including california. and janet touched on it just a moment ago, indicating that we could have a very slight risk of thunderstorms over the state. giving you a look here over san francisco, as we look toward the east, you can see mount diablo
12:22 pm
there in the backdrop. mostly sunny skies overhead. the fog has finally lifted, but still a bit thick along the coastline in areas like half moon bay. everybody else away from the coast looking good with partly cloudy skies. and you may notice some of those subtropical style clouds up above during the afternoon. i saw some coming into work earlier this morning. 63 degrees right now in san francisco, 66 in oakland. so comfortable for you there. already a warm one in areas like livermore in the low 80s for your lunch hour in san jose at 76, temperatures are running cooler in most areas, even down by 11 degrees over santa rosa at this time. for the inner east bay between 2 and 4 degrees cooler from livermore, over towards concord into the afternoon, temperatures will remain on the warm side. we have a very weak onshore breeze through fairfield, 60mph. oakland reporting 13 and our pattern again expected to remain status quo as we go through the next few hours. take a look at
12:23 pm
just a few days. storm tracker two here. we've got some lightning strikes, even off the pacific as that moisture is coming in drawn from the south. and with that, that red flag warning for areas of northern california, as gianna mentioned for us, no advisories. we have a very slim chance right now. it looks like less than 10% chance of elevated thunderstorms. and it's the dry lightning is the big concern this time of year. temperatures for the afternoon today, ranging from 64 degrees in san francisco. upper 80s expected in areas like livermore, 80 degrees for san jose and a better look on the peninsula. 76 for san mateo in the north bay. san rafael 80 degrees expected for you there. temperatures going to be toasty for the inner east bay, 90 degrees expected in antioch. temperatures will begin to drift downward as we head in towards the holiday weekend, and right now, 4th of july looks to be the coolest day. i'll have a better look at the pattern change coming our way and what we can expect in the extended forecast.

in combating and protecting from the flu. moderna says its new vaccine created a stronger immune response than currently available flu shots. it also paves the way for the approval of a standalone flu vaccine, as well as a combination shot that would target both covid and the flu. with the new trial data, moderna plans to resubmit an approval application to the fda so that the shot can be available, they hope by the end of the year. the measles outbreak in a dozen states has spread to a jail in new mexico now. the highly contagious and vaccine preventable illness has now infected more than 1200 people, up from 285 cases last year. this all comes amid growing anti-vaccine sentiment in the united states. as fox's kevin zaretsky explains, some of that hesitancy stems from the success of the vaccines themselves. >> vaccine hesitancy in the u.s. is fueling a comeback for not only contagious, but preventable diseases. while years of
12:36 pm
scientific data have proved vaccines is safe, anti-vaccine activists have long argued that the shots pose a threat, often pointing to the rare risks of side effects. >> because vaccines have been so effective, they've actually become victims of their own success, meaning young parents, for example, don't see the diseases killing children. >> for some americans, the news of lower immunization rates are bringing back memories of a time when illnesses like measles and whooping cough changed their family's lives forever. >> i know what can happen, you know, and i just don't want anybody else to go through this. >> 80 year old janet farnham has been aiding her daughter through everyday life for decades. while there is a vaccination against rubella now, it didn't exist when her daughter was born. >> as time went on, she had added a diabetes, glaucoma. you add in autistic behaviors.

12:38 pm
changes, there might be ways to use the medications without the hefty price tag. >> the big manufacturers of wegovy and that's that's lilly and novo nordisk. they actually have set up direct to consumer sites, and they have the best prices on the market. as long as you're willing to use a needle and a needle syringe as opposed to the injector pen. >> a recent survey by the kaiser family foundation found roughly 6% of american adults are currently prescribed glp one medications for either weight loss or diabetes. disney cruise lines are investigating how a child fell overboard from one of their ships over the weekend. the disney dream was sailing back to fort lauderdale from the bahamas yesterday, when a little girl fell overboard from a fourth floor balcony. witnesses say the girl's father then jumped into the water to save her. the crew immediately issued a man overboard alert and deployed a rescue boat within minutes. the father and daughter were brought back safely. it's still unclear how the child fell

overboard. ukraine says russia has launched its largest aerial attack on ukraine since the war began. more than 500 drones and missiles were fired over the weekend, with strikes hitting multiple regions, including areas far from the front lines. the escalation comes as ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy said on sunday that he had signed a decree to pull ukraine out of the ottawa convention that banned the production and the use of anti-personnel mines. zelenskyy says it is a necessary step in view of russian attacks. other countries bordering russia, including finland, poland and the three ex-soviet baltic states estonia, latvia and lithuania have or are planning to pull out of that agreement. british police are examining videos of a ban that led chants of death to the idf, referring to the israeli defense forces at the glastonbury festival. fox's stephanie bennett has more now from london. >> glastonbury is britain's
12:40 pm
biggest summer music festival, drawing in 200,000 fans as acts perform on 120 different stages. not a headliner but making the headlines. rap punk duo bob dylan led crowds on saturday in chants of free, free palestine and death. death to the idf. local police say they'll review video evidence to determine whether any offenses may have been committed. that would require a criminal investigation. the israeli embassy to the uk said on social media that it was deeply disturbed by the inflammatory and hateful rhetoric expressed on stage. and health secretary wes streeting condemned the rapper's actions as appalling, and that the festival's organizers and the bbc, which is broadcasting the event live, has questions to answer. but the bbc said it issued a warning on screen about very strong and discriminatory language. >> well, i thought it was appalling, to be honest, and i think the bbc and glastonbury
12:41 pm
have got questions to answer about how we saw such a spectacle on our screens. i'd also say to the israeli embassy, get your own house in order in terms of the conduct of your own citizens and the settlers in the west bank. >> festival organizers posted on instagram saying villains chants very much crossed a line and in part quote, as a festival, we stand against all forms of war and terrorism and that with almost 4000 performances, there will inevitably be artists and speakers appearing on our stages whose views we do not share. going on to say there is no place at glastonbury for antisemitism, hate speech or incitement to violence. irish rap group kneecap also performed despite a terror charge for one of its members for allegedly displaying a flag in support of hezbollah at a concert in november. he's denied the charge but will head to court in august. >> it's actually vital that artists are free to speak their mind and speak their feelings. >> tonight is the last night of the festival and headliners include rod stewart and olivia
